Mick Flannery & Susan O’Neill bring their In the Game tour to Kilkenny’s 13th century St. Canice’s Cathedral
In late February 2020, Mick Flannery and Susan O’Neill took to the stage of The Late Late Show in Ireland for a striking performance of their standout song, “Baby Talk” released the following week. What began as a one-off collaboration quickly sparked a creative connection between the two artists, one that would evolve into something much greater.
Soon after, Mick and Susan began writing and recording together, ultimately crafting a full album of original material. The result was In the Game, released in September 2021 to widespread acclaim. The record debuted at No. 1 on the Irish Independent Albums Chart, remained in or near the Top 20 for several weeks, and went on to become the biggest-selling album in Ireland by a non-major label that year.
They took In the Game on the road throughout 2022, touring extensively across Europe and North America. Their live shows captivated audiences, with the album’s songs forming the backbone of a moving, timeless narrative—about musicianship, love, struggle, and life on and off the stage. Over time, In the Game has become a cherished album, continuing to resonate with listeners both in Ireland and abroad.
Now, five years on from that first performance, a live record captured across a series of shows from 2021 to 2025—will be released this October, accompanied by a nationwide Irish tour and select UK dates.
Please note: this is a fully seated show. Tickets go on sale on the 7th of August at 10am
